A Great harrington, Mass, dispatch OF
the 18th says: A careful inspection Of the
flooded area shows that the devastation has
been more widespread than has been re-
ported. More water fell, and the farming
lands and roads have worse appearance
than was the case during the disastrous
flood at Lee last year. When the cloud
burst the air seemed to he filled with water,
and in very short time the valley became
transformed into a white-capped lake.
Nearly all Of the crops in the valley were
destroyed, and it will take year to restore
the land to its former fertility, SO deeply is
it covered with stones and sand brought
down by the numerous land slides. Althouh
damage to property was very great, the re-
ports OF loss OF life have been exaggerated.
The only body found is that of Mr.. Drum, of
Careyvllle. 1t is stated that in Hilldale,
just over the line in New York state, not q
mill is left standing or in working order.
